Orlando is ideally located in central Florida, just an hour's drive from the Atlantic ocean and barely two hours from the Gulf of Mexico. Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, Tampa and Sarasota are all easily accessible from Orlando thanks to a well-developed highway infrastructure.

Orlando is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States, primarily because of its numerous theme parks and attractions, drawing around 75 million visitors each year !

In Orlando, theme parks are the main attraction, with each park offering a unique experience, making a single day feel too short to explore and enjoy all the activities available.

But where the challenge arises is that Orlando isn't just home to one theme park ! In fact, you won't have enough fingers to count them all, so choices must be made! Rest assured, there's a theme park in Orlando for everyone !

Disney parks cover several acres and include not only the globally renowned Disney World Magic Kingdom but also the Hollywood Studio, EPCOT and Animal Kingdom theme parks. Additionally, two water parks, Disney Blizzard Beach and Disney Typhoon Lagoon, offer incredible experiences. Each Disney park provides a new and magical adventure !

The geodesic « Spaceship Earth » a giant sphere at the center of the park, is the iconic symbol of Disney's EPCOT theme park, representing innovation and discovery and serving as a focal point at the park's entrance.

The « Tree of Life » a massive artificial tree with over 300 animal carvings on its trunk, is the emblem of Disney's Animal Kingdom. This tree stands at the center of the park, symbolizing the diversity of animal life on our planet.

Universal Studios is, along with Disney World Magic Kingdom, another must-see theme park in Orlando, drawing countless visitors and immersing you in the world of Harry Potter. Whether at Universal Studios or Universal's Islands of Adventure, excitement is guaranteed !

Since May 2017, Universal Volcano Bay has welcomed guests as the first water-themed park built from the ground up at Universal Orlando Resort. This water park transports visitors to a lush, immersive Polynesian island centered around the towering Krakatau volcano. Featuring innovative attractions, including thrilling water slides, across four themed areas, Wave Village, River Village, Rainforest Village and the iconic volcano, Volcano Bay combines thrilling experiences like the Krakatau Aqua Coaster and the impressive Ko'okiri Body Plunge with tranquil escapes such as wave pools and lazy rivers.

The water park also introduced TapuTapu, a wearable virtual queue system that allows guests to skip physical lines and activate interactive elements throughout the island.

Since May 2025, Universal EPIC Universe has taken theme park storytelling to a whole new level ! Spanning five immersive worlds, this all-new park delivers an unmatched blend of adventure, innovation and immersive design.

Step into the action of Super Nintendo World™, where you can battle Bowser through Mario Kart™, venture into Donkey Kong Country™ and explore the Mushroom Kingdom. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ - Ministry of Magic brings the magic of the wizarding communities to life in stunning detail. Enter the shadowy thrills of Dark Universe, where the iconic monsters of Universal's classic horror films are reborn through cutting-edge attractions and chilling environments. Families will love How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk, a vibrant, sky-high land where vikings and dragons soar together. At the center lies Celestial Park, a lush, futuristic hub filled with gardens, fountains, shops, dining and the park's signature coaster that rockets guests across the stars.

EPIC Universe isn't just a theme park, it's five universes waiting to be explored.

Sea World theme park takes you on a journey through the marine world from various perspectives with its glass tunnel aquariums, orca shows and marine-themed attractions like a manta ray coaster that flies through the park !

Aquatica is Sea World's water park, offering beaches, slides and a lazy river, similar to Disney's water parks but with a less magical atmosphere.

Orlando is also a gateway to explore Florida's manatees at Crystal River, learn about space exploration at Cape Canaveral, attend a NASCAR race in Daytona, or simply enjoy a day at the beach in Cocoa Beach. Orlando is the perfect base for a multi-day stay, offering relaxation, fun, shopping and nearby attractions.

Each theme park offers extensive parking, with Disney's lots sprawling as far as the eye can see and Universal's parking stacked across multiple levels. It's important to note your parking spot using theme-specific icons to avoid losing your car. Alternatively, bus services provide a convenient option, though be mindful of their schedules.

Various ticket options are available to maximize your theme park experience: single-day or multi-day passes, access to one or multiple parks and the option to add water park entry on the same day or skip the lines.

Multi-day passes save money compared to daily admission and offer greater flexibility to explore different theme parks at your leisure, including parks with later closing times !

Among the available passes, you'll find the Disney theme park pass or the "Orlando Flex Ticket," which grants access to 5 or 6 attractions depending on the package.
